The flag likely satifies the requirements for originality under Australian law. It's at least more complicated than the Aboriginal Flag. Safes007 (talk) 15:42, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
Disagree Too simple. The description of the flag would make it easy to create a similar flag with a different style that would still represent the island. The design contains no original authorship. Shouldn't be deleted. Feitidede☆゚.* 03:32, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
- This is probably true under US law, but Australian law has very low originality requirements. See the example of the Aboriginal flag (under Logos and Flags), which only consists of a yellow circle between red and black vertical stripes. Safes007 (talk) 15:27, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
- Like the aboriginal flag, I believe it is owned by the Austrlian government and therefore is in PD. I will try to confirm this, until then I think the flag should be

- This seems unlikely. The Australian Aboriginal flag was only acquired by the government after it was officially proclaimed and following a significant "free the flag" campaign. Safes007 (talk) 04:09, 18 June 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, the Australian government only acquired copyright to the Aboriginal flag after paying the owner and some of the license holders. It is still not PD - the copyright is owned by the Australian government, and the design is released for general use in most contexts (one particular flag company still has exclusive rights to sell it).
- This flag is not in anything like that situation - it was created by the owner of a flag selling business, so that they could sell it to be used by residents of a small island. It doesn't have any official status, and noone has even thought about the Australian government or any other government getting involved in its copyright. JPD (talk) 13:43, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
